The accessible trail of Huosilampi is the most easily reached part of Hossa area. At Huosilampi you can fish from accessible piers, follow the broad duckboards and familiarise yourself with the mire habitat and pine forests typical of Hossa, and enjoy the peace and quiet of Hossa at the magnificent large rest stop by the lake. The accessible trail of Huosilampi is an excellent choice for not only visitors with reduced mobility but also families. This easy trail is ideal for the youngest nature enthusiasts of the family. When descending to the shores of Huosilampi trail, there is a section of approx. 150 metres where the gradient is over 5%. At Huosilampi Lake, the trail divides: one path leads to a lean-to shelter at the southern end of the lake, while the other takes you to the mire area at the northern end.
